MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC DELIVERS LANDMARK DOAS ORDER IN TAIPEI

Mitsubishi Electric has delivered a landmark order to Taipei Nan Shan Plaza in central Taipei that includes what is believed to be Taiwan's first destination-dispatch elevators integrated with the Destination Oriented Allocation System (DOAS). The order consisted of 27 elevators, including 12 double-deck models with DOAS, and 45 escalators serving a 48-story office building, a seven-story retail annex and a one-story entrance annex. DOAS is integrated with the building's access-control system. As passengers pass through security gates for authentication, their destination floors are registered and grouped by elevator for efficiency. Operation of multiple elevators is optimized by omitting the need for users to press destination buttons. Designed by architect Mitsubishi Jisho Sekkei Inc., Taipei Nan Shan Plaza is operated by Nan Shan Life Insurance Co., Ltd.
